Kajol Explains Why She Broke Her No-Kissing Rule for The Trial

She frames the moment as a character-led choice made despite personal discomfort.

Overview

  • Kajol, in a Friday interview with Lilly Singh, said she felt very uncomfortable filming her first on-screen kiss but chose to do it as a work decision.
  • She explained the kiss served her character’s journey in The Trial and removing it would have harmed the story.
  • The actor had kept a no-kissing policy for nearly three decades before sharing a kiss with co-star Jisshu Sengupta in the series.
  • In the show, she plays Noyonika Sengupta, a homemaker who returns to law, in a courtroom drama directed by Suparn Verma and adapted from The Good Wife.
  • Season 2 released last year and the series is streaming on JioHotstar, with coverage linking her choice to her recent 2025 releases and her upcoming film Maharagni.
